While the report states that 90% from the Spring 2016 admission cycle (Class of 2019) are in their FIRST CHOICE major, for the previous admission cycle (Class of 2018), it only states that 97% are in a major OF THEIR CHOICE. @Thelma2 is correct in that we can’t assume 97% are in their first choice major, when some may be in their second or third choice for that admission cycle. MEEN and CHEN had a higher acceptance rate for Spring 2016 than for the previous cycle. It’s also not a strict GPA cut-off, as you are required to submit extracurriculars, honors, work in the field, etc. Also, the reports also don’t state the number of freshmen who were eligible/ineligible to apply or the total number of seats in each major – that would be interesting to know as well and would provide a more complete picture. The ETAM process IS confusing because it is a moving target. It’s been tweeked for every admission cycle so far. So what’s here today will likely change again.
